Sorption of Zwitterionic Spirocyclic Meisenheimer complex on SBA-15 and UiO-66 surfaces for wastewater treatment

Abstract

The recycle, cleaning, and reuse of water are highly important for environmental remediation. This issue is addressed by creating a fluorescent zwitterionic spirocyclic Meisenheimer complex sorption on SBA-15 and UiO- 66 with high chelating propensity for toxic metals using low-cost starting materials and a one-pot synthesis technique. A resin-free, precipitation-free, and reusable technique has been developed for the removal of toxic metal ions from extremely polluted water.
